Holy crap, I loved this movie! It is probably because I am into video games, computers, monkeys... ...okay, I don't have a monkey, but they are cool. I am actually going to give the same summary I gave Sketch in an email:
Thirty year old guy is a video game tester (because he likes to smoke weed) that gets kicked out of his house and forced to stay with his grandma (because his roommate spent all the rent money on Philippino hookers). Awesome!!!!!!! If that doesn't draw you in, I don't know what will.... ...oh, there is a monkey!
That says it all. The movie isn't about some special cause and is not going to win Oscars, but it is fun and hilarious. The villain speaks like a robot when he is nervous for goodness sake. It is VERY well cast (we are talking Oscar/Emmy/Golden Globe winners) and they don't take themselves serious at all. They role with it. Also they don't rehash all the jokes from other movies. Their is original laughs to be had. They keep it fresh. There are a couple of "I can't believe they went there" moments as well. There are subtle points too. I don't know that everyone will appreciate everything here, but it is funny enough for everyone. All I can say is that it is one heck of a ride. Oh, and it has a monkey... ...and he knows karate!
Good:
Monkey, weed, and videogames. Nuff said!
Bad:
Not long enough. Okay, that is a joke. May be a niche crowd type of movie.
